40 Days of Prayer & Fasting

DAY 37 OF 40

Fasting Brings Deliverance

Deliverance takes place when we fast. When we kill our flesh and invite the Lord in, every spirit but the Holy Spirit has to leave. After Jesus fasted, the devil left Him. In Matthew 4, after Jesus fasted for 40 days and resisted the temptation of Satan, it says, “and the devil left Him”. Fasting brings deliverance. Deliverance is a name of God. Jehovah Mephalti: The Lord who delivers. He was born of spirit and became flesh but never let His flesh rule Him. We are born of flesh and must be re-born of the Spirit. Deliverance is when your flesh submits to the Holy Spirit! Ask Him if there’s anything you need to be freed of today. You remain in bondage when your flesh leads you and you experience deliverance when the Holy Spirit leads you! When we fast, The Holy Spirit is leading us.

As you’re fasting today, spend time praying in tongues, worshiping, and crying out for deliverance.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I invite you in. I declare that no spirit but the Holy Spirit is welcome here. Surround me with songs of deliverance. I want Your Spirit to rule my flesh. Give me the grace to overcome the sin of my flesh. I submit my flesh to let you lead me. I want to experience the deliverance that comes from fasting. I focus my mind and my heart on You and believe that You will deliver me. Amen.

About this Plan

40 Days of Prayer & Fasting

Fasting is a spiritual discipline that calls us to deny the desires of our flesh and fill ourselves up with God, His Word, and His presence. Over the next 40 days, we will grow in intimacy with God, position ourselves to be in His perfect will, and learn about His dunamis power in our daily personal encounters.
